Pauline Kosalka A representative from Planned Parenthood refused to say to Florida legislators that babies who survived an abortion should not be killed. Alisa LaPolt Snow of Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates was invited to speak before the House Civil Justice Subcommittee on March 27 on HB1129, a bill mandating that abortion survivors receive medical care from hospitals. It ultimately passed the subcommittee by a 10-2 vote.
Snow shocked Florida lawmakers by her comments. When asked by Rep. Jim Boyd (R) what ... (Continue reading)

Paul Tuns LifeSiteNews.com has the story of the jury's decision finding abortionist Kermit Gosnell guilty of murdering three of four babies in which he was charged as well as the involuntary manslaughter in the 2009 death of Karnamaya Mongar. The penalty phase of the deliberations begin next week and there is a gag order in effect until that time. The Washington Post has a long article on the decision.
This, from the LSN story, is baffling: "The 'not guilty' count ... (Continue reading)

Paul Tuns On March 18 the trial of Kermit Gosnell began in a Philadelphia courthouse, and the jury heard some of the most sensational – and graphic – testimony any courtroom has witnessed. Yet despite the numerous storylines – a doctor who preyed on women, killed children, snipping the spines of babies who survived abortion, a racial subtext about the minority women who were his clients – the media largely ignored this story. A local columnist, J.D. Mullane, who writes for the ... (Continue reading)

Pauline Kosalka Bringing the back-alley to the street front. Abortionist Kermit Gosnell is on trial for killing a woman and seven newborns. The media ignored the gruesome testimony until they had no choice.
Jurors at the trial of abortionist Kermit Gosnell have heard shocking testimony about the conditions at his “House of Horrors” – the Women’s Medical Society in Philadelphia. Gosnell, who potentially faces the death penalty, was charged with seven ... (Continue reading)

On Feb. 18, 2010, the FBI raided the “Women’s Medical Society” in Philadelphia searching for evidence of illicit prescription drugs sales; what they found, instead, were horrors unimagined by the most gruesome Hollywood film: “The search team discovered fetal remains haphazardly stored throughout the clinic—in bags, milk jugs, orange juice cartons, and even in cat-food containers.” Investigators also “found a row of jars containing just the severed feet ...

Pauline Kosalka A 29-year-old woman has died as a result of a 33-week abortion conducted by late-term abortion specialist Dr. LeRoy Carhart.
Jennifer Morbelli, a kindergarten teacher from White Plains, New York, travelled to Carhart’s abortion facility, the Germantown Reproductive Health Center (GRHC), in Germantown, Maryland to begin the four-day procedure on Sunday, Feb. 3. The reason for the abortion was a fetal abnormality.
Over the next three days, witnesses who saw Morbelli return to the facility for the next stages of her abortion ... (Continue reading)

Review Pauline Kosalka Recall Abortion: Ending the Abortion Industry’s Exploitation of Women by Janet Morana (Saint Benedict Press, $22.37, 211 pages)
A new book, by a co-founder of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign, argues that abortion is a terrible product which should have been recalled long ago. “Abortion is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated against women, and those who profit from abortion are the snake oil salesmen of our time,” ...

If it bleeds, it leads -- except if it's abortion
On March 18 the trial of Kermit Gosnell began in a Philadelphia courthouse, and the jury heard some of the most sensational – and graphic – testimony any courtroom has witnessed. Yet despite the numerous storylines – a doctor who preyed on women, killed children, snipping the spines of babies who survived abortion, a racial subtext about ... (Continue reading)

Paul Tuns It is just over a month until the National March for Life in Ottawa (May 9). The theme this year is gendercide. The Interim and LifeSiteNews.com have both ran promotional stories. In light of the political maneuvering that took place in recent weeks to scuttle Mark Warawa's private member's motion (M408) and the political fallout, it might seem that a rally and march tied to the issue of a motion deemed non-votable is less relevant, but in fact ...

Patrick B. Craine Special to The Interim An iconic figure in Canada’s pro-abortion movement has had his medical license revoked for two months after pleading guilty Jan. 31, to inseminating three women with the wrong sperm.
Ottawa fertility specialist Dr. Norman Barwin, president of Canadians for Choice, was found guilty of professional misconduct at a disciplinary hearing of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.
“It is hard to imagine a more fundamental error in your former specialty,” said panel chairman Dr. William King, according to the Ottawa ... (Continue reading)

Abortion | Author:
Pauline Kosalka Prince Edward Island, long praised as a “life sanctuary” by the pro-life movement for not providing surgical abortions, now has a doctor willing to do chemical abortions. Chemical abortions, sometimes called medical abortions, are brought about by taking abortion-inducing drugs that make the uterine wall inhospitable to newly conceived life; without the ability to grow safely in that location, it is expelled from the womb and dies.
On January 28, CBC and the Charlottetown Guardian newspaper interviewed a woman from P.E.I. ... (Continue reading)

Patrick C. Craine Special to The Interim An Ottawa abortionist was ordered to cease performing abortions in 2011 after an inspection found he failed to meet the “minimum expected standard” for anesthesia and lacked the necessary safety standards and resuscitation equipment.
The report on Dr. Wee-Lim Sim was made public Feb. 1, by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario as part of a new initiative to publicize the results of inspections on “out-of-hospital” premises.
Sim, a registered obstetrician and gynecologist operating at 371 Friel St., says he ... (Continue reading)

Paul Tuns Conservative MP Jay Aspin (Nipissing -- Timiskaming) says that his colleague Mark Warawa (Langley) is a "rogue" for bringing up abortion. Last week a parliamentary subcommittee ruled that Warawa's private member's motion, M-408, which would express disapproval of the practice of sex-selective abortion and gendercide, was non-votable. Warawa has been vocal about the decision and the Conservative party's attempt to prevent him from speaking up on the issue. Aspin is not impressed saying: "If these rogue members ...

Interim Staff Here is what Interim editor Paul Tuns wrote at his blog Sobering Thoughts earlier today:
Great point made by Campaign Life Coalition's Jack Fonseca: "Eliminating taxpayer funding for abortions that are not medically necessary is a political position that’s more popular amongst Ontarians than is the Liberal Party, the NDP or Tim Hudak’s PCs. So says a recent AngusReid opinion poll." Now that's because a majority of Ontario oppose taxpayer-funding of abortion. But typically, even the minority position on a ... (Continue reading)
